Undercooked pork is responsible for a wide host of diseases caused by bacteria like yersinia, Staph. aureus, E.coli, listeria, and salmonella.
#5 Liver Cancer
For a long time, people thought that the nitrosamine preservatives added to pork meat was responsible for causing cancer. But that is no longer considered a fact since a lot of vegetables and other meat products are also preserved with this compound, but which do not show such a high correlation with liver cancer.

If you love pork and bacon, don't fret. As long as you cook the meat above 71oC, you should be fine as the high heat destroys all the microbes present in the meat.
